In Sadness Sang

Lyrics for In Sadness Sang

When we touch the world and it falls away When we feel that we're born just to fall apart And our mother lies in state And the broken pitcher glistens And the snow is at the window Making neither sign nor symbol And the air is covered earth And the moon lies in tombs Where the sand dunes stretch unbroken And the dry wind bends and sighs And the geese are running harmless And our desires are running wild When we're looking at the smoke That's rising from the incense Neither coming here nor going Neither heaven here nor hell Neither born in here nor birthing Neither dying here nor death And we're wrapped inside our trouble And we're wrapped inside our pain And we're wrapped with fire, with longing And our eyes are blind with night With our fingers clutching coin And our thoughts burning with eye And our eyes cannot be sated With the world and its nightmares With the world and its dream Though greater than before With a small handful of dust And the gods appear on altars And we recognize their face It's a face that we have carved there And it's full of fear and longing And promises and threats But they neither stoop to conquer Nor do they stoop to praise And the minds are void of diamond That we carry in our rags And all the world sing a sadness song A sadness song A sadness song And all the world sing sad sadness song
